Trivia
Matilda's character was initially scripted as a male and went by the name of Matias in the first drafts of the screenplay. The directors Max Seeck and Joonas Pajunen came across to the actress Saana Koivisto and invited her to an audition. The two directors were so convinced of Koivisto's acting skills that they decided to change Matias' character into Matilda and cast her for the role. The directors have thus described Matilda's character as gender neutral.

Quotes

Maria: What?
Mikko: Something bad.

I liked it!

This little Scandinavian horror movie was a pleasant surprise. I went to the cinema not knowing anything and enjoyed the dark and creepy atmosphere a lot. Some nice twists and turns I didn't see coming. Not perfect by any means but much more interesting and creative than most Hollywood movies that hit the cinemas nowadays. Nice to see Scandinavian countries producing horror movies with heart since they have a lot of folklore and myths to get inspiration from. The German dubbing was not really impressive and as a result the acting felt a bit cheap sometimes - which is not the filmmakers fault but a regular problem with foreign movies. Overall a much better movie than the rating suggests.
